Hi,

If you want to upgrade from 7 to 8.6 you need to install a .cop file.

For both restricted and unrestricted upgrades from an 8.5(x) or earlier release to an 8.6(x) release, this patch (COP file) must be applied prior to initiating the upgrade. Before you upgrade from compatible versions of Unified CM, install the COP file named ciscocm.refresh_upgrade_v1.0.cop.sgn that you can find under:

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 8.6>Unified Communications Manager / CallManager / Cisco Unity Connection Utilities>COP-Files.

You need the file for a redhat upgrade and you will be able to take a back-up.  I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anthony
